Launched in 2015, Marc Jacobs' Violet is a Chypre Floral fragrance that blends powdery and citrus notes with the distinctive scent of violet. The composition opens with fresh kumquat and green apple before settling into a heart of white lily, magnolia, and jasmine. This floral bouquet is then anchored by vanilla, musk, and patchouli in the base, creating a warm and enveloping finish. Violet offers a modern take on classic florals, balancing freshness with richness.

Application Tips
Apply Violet with two sprays for optimal effect — the fresh citrus notes are most vibrant in the first hour, but the vanilla and musk base will linger throughout the day. It's best suited for daytime wear when its powdery warmth complements a casual or professional setting.
